I've managed to verify the initramfs-tools Focal-proposed package
(version 0.136ubuntu6.3) by following 2 approaches, given that we don't
have its cryptsetup counter-part released yet:

(a) The verification by "negation" aims to check if we don't have
regression, by testing if the new package changed the old behavior. And
it passed: with the proposed initramfs-tools, if we have a degraded
RAID1 holding the encrypted rootfs, Ubuntu fails to boot exactly like
using the regular/released initramfs-tools package, so no regressions
/behavior-change introduced.

(b) I've tested with a modified cryptsetup package [0] that included the
fix counter-part, and in this case, we are able to boot as expected,
proving that the initramfs-tools proposed package is working as it
should.

Also, the armhf autopkgtest regression mentioned in the above comment is no 
longer an issue, it's fixed (test was re-executed and succeeded - likely a 
flaky network case).
Hence, marking this bug as verified for Focal.
Cheers,


Guilherme
